Following the lead of Nets star Deron Williams, Amar’e Stoudemire teased his fans with the idea of playing in Israel yesterday on Twitter.

“Should I go to Israel and play for Maccabi Tel Aviv during the lockout?” Stoudemire tweeted yesterday, including the Israeli club’s twitter name at the end of the tweet, along with a Knicks hashtag.

Stoudemire’s injury history — which includes microfracture surgery on his right knee and surgery to repair his detached right retina — should keep him from seriously considering playing overseas.

Stoudemire’s injuries prevented the Knicks from getting insurance on his $100 million contract last summer. If he got injured playing overseas, the Knicks wouldn’t pay him. That would force Stoudemire to get his own expensive insurance policy in order to protect himself.

His agent, Happy Walters, told The Post earlier this week that Stoudemire wasn’t considering playing overseas.
